UMI Control Arm Relocation Brackets Now Feature 3 Hole Design Just a quick post to update everyone that our control arm relocation brackets now have 3 lowering positions instead of two. We found this feature nice when tuning the rear suspension from drag, to street to handling. As with all UMI Performance products these are manufactured in our facility in the USA using USA steel and laser cut for precision tolerances.
looks like the 3 relocation holes are smaller dia than normal.
when I wanted lower holes,I had to fab extensions.

Was just about to order these but the UMI website is down currently.
Also, which hole on these would be better for handling/cornering if my car is lowered 1" or 1.25"? I rarely go to the strip so I'm looking for the best road course setup.

Which hole works will be trial and error. For handling applications you want the control arms to as close to level as possible. Use whatever hole accomplishes this.If your arms are level now, there is no need for these brackets from a handling perspective.

I see, so because at the stock height the LCAs are at a slightly down angle, if the car is lowered without these then they will be more level which is ideal for handling?

All you really need for handling is proper shocks, springs, swaybars and a watts link, everything else does very little.

I am lowered 1.25" all the way around. At stock height these brackets will
benefit you as well. You are disposing a negative angle and creating a central holding
position. Torque does some funny things to F-bods =)
Ask the guy at UMI or ask a BMR tech, no matter what the height, you will
benefit from LCA relocation brackets. Our cars handle like crap in turns with
stock suspension, I know this for FACT. I race at Sebring every weekend.
Get some UMI LCA relocation brackets and adjustable lower control arms and
feel the difference. UMI also makes a hella adjustable panhard rod.

I just ordered MY UMI LCA relocation brackets. And I ordered the UMI non adjustable lower control arms. My Camaro will have 1 1/2" UMI lowering coil springs. Which of the the 3 lowering holes in the UMI LCA bracket would you suggest I use? My Camaro is typically only street driven, not tracked.
